If this turns out good, I just hope they take what they learn from it and incorporate those lessons into newer games. Some mechanics too, maybe. I think the need to completely reinvent the wheel for every game since X really has backfired on the series.
Technically it is so advanced but the result is a lot less snappy experience. It just looks so slow. So much style added when I liked the very fast pacing of the original. Final fantasy 7, and to an extent 9 both had that nice comic relief to it from the origins which I miss frankly. Maybe I just never liked the realistic approach of final fantasy.
He would he killed 2 dudes on the coach in Corel, and i'm certain he would kill the Man responsible for corel. And shinra wanted to kill them, but they failed.
Shadowbringers is so damn good. Yeah, I'm really hoping we get some real quality back in the brand. No offense to those who like FFXV, but it just felt to me like it was grasping at whatever straws it could.
It's not an easy task, but if you're not having to go through a lot of the design process because the original exists as one of the greatest games of all time, then that's an incredible amount of help for the dev team. Consider that nearly every member of the 300+ size dev team has probably played FFVII, and at any time they can go to it for reference. A lot of what we see and what's been described is beat-for-beat the same as it was in the original such as the Bombing Run. Of course there are changes, but everyone in the dev team is on the same page and knows what the end result should be like. A lot of what we're seeing is the same FFVII with new things added on to it. The base character designs, personalities, script, enemy variety and designs, environments (Seventh Heaven and art for Aerith's house are nearly identical to the original), themes, etc. are all already established.
I'm glad the victory fanfare is still in there in some form lol.
I've said it before in this thread, I think. But if this game works, they really should take some of the mechanics and roll them into the mainline series. They shouldn't (and evidently can't, given how the series has turned out) throw everything out and start with a blank slate with every installment. There's nothing wrong with have a baseline gameplay standard to build and iterate on for your series. Hell, it's exactly what they did with the ATB fron IV-IX.
